Location: Maplewood, MN | When the sun is high in the sky what do you typically throw? Specify if you'd use that technique in clear or stained waters. Also, do you look to move em outta the slop or bomb the depths? Thanks. |

As far as lures anything goes out there. I'll usually grab a crank. Personally I love the high sky conditions. |

Location: big cove tannery pa | I normally use a shallow running crankbait or some kind of jerkbait that has a lip on it to get it down a few feet. Also slow rolling a spinnerbait can work pretty well. |

now you've got the right idea! |

| Bombing 25-35' depths, running lures halfway down. |

| Target the thermocline as your structure and troll away while you drink a sudsey and wave back at the babes. |

Location: Grand Rapids MN | Alot depends on water temps yet but so far this year I've only been able to fish high skies and been having some good action in both typical cabbage beds and just the other day yanked one trolling with the family in 22' of water with the lure running around 15' down. With the recent warm up marked lots of bait fish balls spread throughout the basin with arches all over so that pointed towards trolling. Caught lots of pike (some nice ones also), a few smallies, and a decent muskie in only a few hours of trolling.
Always lots of options and approaches just do what you enjoy. I personally like trolling just as well as casting so it doesn't kill me to start the motor and cover some water. |

Location: Maple Grove, MN | On the lakes I fish, the Muskies tend to go deeper into the weed beds in high skies and their strike zones tends to shrink. So, one has to get a lure closer to them and often times one needs to get right into the cabbage where they are holding.
In that situation, a spinner bait just over or right through the cabbage beds can be very affective. CJs, Rad Dogs and Grinders all work well. Just match the lure size and weight to the depth of the weeds. The deeper the weeds, the heavier the bait to get down to them. Allowing baits to occasionally make contact with the rocks or weeds can also help trigger strikes.
Good luck.

| if you have fish located but they wont show, or let alone bite your normal stuff.
I go to a jig. really pick the area apart, take your time, its really all about feel and watching your line, but when theyre sitting tight, and you drop a jig n creature in their face, they can only take so much.
I tend to use it on somewhat clear/ light stained water, swimming them along slowly with pops n letting it fall is good, but plowing it into the weeds, and ripping it upward, then retrieve a bit and let it fall again is by far most affective for me.
best part about it is the hit. feels like a very large walleye just popped your jig.
very rarely a violent strike, it kind of allows you to almost "wind up" and cross their eyes! |
